It's always fun to talk about jazz.

I might sound like the weird artist hippy girl or whatever, but I don't have a complaint about what jazz is or what I'm doing with music. And that's more of a philosophy on my life. I could find things that maybe could shift or change, but ultimately, it's like that's not a good way to live our lives and think about what we do.

I always used to say I'm definitely not a straight-ahead jazz singer, because then there's people who would hear what I do and say, 'Is it jazz? I don't know...' Whatever it is, it really comes down to creating music that makes people feel something.

Just figure out what you think jazz is, and then if it fits into that category, it's jazz, and if it doesn't, it isn't. It's no big deal.

If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.

Jazz can be so serious, no sense of humor.

Y'know, I don't like jazz much. I'll put it on once in a while and listen, and I'll appreciate it.

Sometimes you need to stand with your nose to the window and have a good look at jazz. And I've done that on many occasions.
